Link NCA Study, Dari-Suf-Bala District, Samangan Province Link NCA Final Report January 2015 February 2016 Dari-Suf-Bala District, Samangan Province Afghanistan Lysette Boucher - Castel, Link NCA Expert Acknowledgments The Link NCA survey in DSB is the result of many collaborations. During the different phases of the process, the ACF office in Kabul, the ACF Mazar el Sharif Base and Paris worked together from January to June, 2015. We are firstly grateful to all families (530) that welcomed data collectors into their homes and all villagers (mothers and fathers) of Sarwalang Miana in the district of DSB, Samangan province in Afghanistan. The NCA study was conducted under difficult conditions. It has been made possible through the support of the ACF team in Mazar. We are grateful to Mr. Brian Hansen, field coordinator of ACF-Mazar for his support in ensuring proper security measures for the fieldwork teams, and to all Afghan administrative and logistic managers that were always concerned about our organizational needs throughout the duration of the NCA work, in particular during the two months of data collection in the district of DSB. In the field, at the Bazar Stocka base, we wish to express our gratitude to twenty-eight data collectors who visited families in 30 villages in the DSB district. We cannot name them all but we thank in particular Mr. Jalil Ahmad, who held very seriously his role of assistant and allowed us to have access to the population of the village of Sarwalang Miana throughout the qualitative survey, the two translators who were also very good focus group sessions facilitators, Fatima Shinwari and Amanullah Shams . The teams received valuable support from the district Governor and all CDC members in the villages of DSB, who should be thanked for their hospitality and patience. Finally, we are grateful to Mr. Victor Mallelah who supervised the Risk Factor and SMART Surveys. His involvement in the study went above and beyond expectations. Bringing this study to completion in all its methodological dimensions (questionnaires, statistics, and methodology, commented reading drafts) was possible thanks to the NCA team in Paris, which has always accompanied us even when we were far away. Our thanks go to Madame Blanche Mattern. Also, we thank Maryline Cittadini and Karl Lellouche, our focal points for Link NCA in Afghanistan and Paris. Finally, on a personal note, I would like to thank a close friend, the sociologist Michalis Lianos, who read with care and perspicacity all the pages of the report during the summer of 2015. Foreword The Link NCA report for the District DSB of Samangan Province - Afghanistan is presented in two parts: the first part presents the Link NCA process and its implementation in the district of DSB. The second part presents the findings of data collection in DSB and a preliminary rating of hypothesized risk factors. Part I, presents the analysis of secondary data, the work of the first workshop held in Kabul in February 2015, all conceptual preparations (pathway and hypothesized risk factors) and technical tools (sample data management) in view of conducting three surveys: SMART, RFS (household questionnaire) and qualitative investigation. The limitations of the survey are presented in this section. In an annex to part I, we present the causal model of the workshop in February 2015, and a copy of the household questionnaire for the SMART and the RFS survey. Part II focuses on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and a proposal on hypotheses that were discussed in the context of this survey. In an annex to Part II, the reader can find the list of all results (mean or proportion) for all indicators measured in the chapter discussing the findings of the investigation. p. 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgments ................................................................................................................................................... 2 Foreword ................................................................................................................................................................... 2 Table of Contents .................................................................................................................................................... 3 List of Charts and Figures ....................................................................................................................................... 5 List of Tables ............................................................................................................................................................. 7 List of Maps and Boxes ........................................................................................................................................... 9 Glossary ................................................................................................................................................................... 10 Introduction ............................................................................................................................................................ 12 Part I.

    AFGHANISTAN Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry FAAHM Food, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Information Management and Policy Unit Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations AGRICULTURE AND FOOD PRODUCTION IN POST-WAR AFGHANISTAN A REPORT ON THE WINTER AGRICULTURAL SURVEY 2002-2003 Hector Maletta - Raphy Favre Kabul, August 2003 With technical support provided by FAO íthrough the Agriculture and Economic Develop- ment Division (ESA) and Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division (TCE)í and financial support provided by the United States of America (OSRO/AFG/111/USA), Germany (GCP/AFG/026/GER), and the World Food Programme (Afghanistan Country Office). Executive summary Four fifths of the Afghan population live in rural areas, and most are farmers or farm labourers. The Winter Survey provides an account of the structure of the farming sector and the rural farming population in Afghanistan, with an emphasis on food security. The 2002-2003 crop season in Afghanistan was the first one planted and harvested in relative peace, after the end of a long period of domestic and international strife and political instability, and also the first one after the long drought that afflicted the country since 1999, a plight that in many parts of the country ended only with the Autumn rains in late 2002. After staging a healthy recovery in 2002, but still with many areas under the effects of the drought, agriculture in Afghanistan continued its recovery in the 2002-2003 crop year with a significant increase in areas planted, and an very good harvest. This report is mainly based on a nationwide survey, the Winter Survey (December 2002-January 2003), which covered all the agro-ecological zones and relevant watersheds, interviewing nearly 5000 farmers in more than 500 rural communities.

  • Balkh Provincial Profile
    Regional Rural Economic Regeneration Strategies (RRERS) GRM Provincial Profile - Balkh - Executive Summary Balkh Province in the North of Afghanistan has high potential in the agriculture sector. The main border crossing point located 30km north of the provincial capital, Mazar-e-Sharif, and the main access road to Uzbekistan links the province to a vibrant trade with the Central Asian countries. Mazar-e-Sharif is an attractive historical site. Its famous tomb of Hazrat Ali, or “Blue Mosque”, attracts many tourists and pilgrims. With a population of approximately 250,000 inhabitants, Mazar is also an important trade hub. Major shares of imports from Central Asia arrive in Mazar and change hands through a diverse services sector. The significant natural gas resources of Sheberghan near Mazar supply a thermo power plant and constitute an important retail business distributing gas to other locations in Afghanistan. Balkh has fertile agriculture land. The Province obtains its abundant water resources from as far away as Bande Amir in Bamyan that mainly feed into the ground water feed and into well maintained irrigation systems. Horticulture, field crops, livestock, and niche sectors like silk are traditional sectors that are being revived in Balkh. New ventures for Afghanistan, including oil seed production, are being challenged with active participation of Balkh University. A range of financial services are available in Mazar and in the Province, where e.g. finance cooperatives are successfully being piloted. Balkh is a politically active Province with a majority Tajik population which represents a special situation. It is comparatively safe, and the economy based on a mix of agriculture, MSMEs and Services is developing.
